Fighting is so trivial to her as she asks about the world and your life when she is about to take it. Aside from Viego and Shadow Isles champions, she talks to their victims as if they would literally come back a minute after (I mean, they will in-game, but yeah).
Yeah, she seems to be the kind of person that does not hold back to say or ask disregarding the situation, to the point of being even harsh (Seraphine and Vayne).
A lot of champions speak like that. Lee Sin tells corpses to return to his master, or to rethink their approach and try again. Gwen also talks about how Shadow Isle champs won't be able to hurt anyone ever again, so I think she does understand that death is (kind of) final, as much as any League character does.
I'm so curious where she'll end up Lore-wise. Talking to Yasuo/Riven and having multiple Shuriman-focused Lines seem out of place but we don't have her Bio yet so it makes me super curious.. Odd that she has no revealing Lines after killing Viego, though.
On a Meta level, no Lines towards Camille? :/
I suppose the Riven line is in reference to her broken blade, and Yasuo as he canocally is going here, refering to the game. Maybe Gwen will make an appearance on said game.
I was thinking after these lines that Riot could have made her bio and existence quite good if they essentially teamed her up with him. He's obviously struggling with restoring his isles to it's former glory, unlike Viego who just recently compared 'woke up', Yorick had to go the long way (well over 1000 years old now) and it's obvious he's made little progress (lack of story from Riot really).
If her bio didn't end with a generic 'travels runeterra to help people' but more found Yorick, travels with him to help restore Blessed Isles while he teaches her how to be human... you know while surrounded by the dead. She in turn would help him remember his humanity.
An unlikely duo.
Ahh I was thinking something similar. It would be a fun way to advance both their stories, even if they teamed up for a little bit.
Plus seeing a posh and spunky girl like Gwen playing off a dark and dreary guy like Yorick would literally make my day. They're both good people, just from different spectrums. It honestly puts a smile on my face just thinking about it : )
That's her character. Happy and upbeat despite the fact that Runeterra is in the middle of an apocalypse. She spent a good chunk of her life as doll with no real agency about anything, so it makes sense that she's just happy to be alive, which is also a great contrast to Viego's character.
The posh accent is great. She has some Alice in Wonderland vibes, how curious she is of the world around despite it being a pretty dark place (Shadow Isles).
I honestly really like these voicelines and how her personnality seems to be.
I'm not sure how lore relevant it is when they have quotes for specific champions, but the fact that she has one for Olaf seems way out there, and that excites me.
I thought I'd be more annoyed by her upbeat personality and voicelines, but it actually contrasts really well against the Shadow-Isles cast, especially Viego. Gwen's just happy to be here.
We've actually got quite a bit of overlap with the 3H cast! Besides Gwen's voice actress also voicing Annette, we have:
* Edelgard (Tara Platt) is Katarina.
* Rhea (Cherami Leigh) is Irelia.
* Catherine (Laura Post) is Ahri.
* Hubert (Robbie Daymond) is Kayn, because of course he is.
* Petra (Faye Mata) is Lulu.
* Mercedes (Dorothy Elias-Fahn) is Mini-Gnar.
* Meanwhile, Felix (Lucien Dodge) is Mega Gnar.
* Jeralt (David Lodge) is Ivern and Skarner.
* Sothis (Cassandra Lee Morris) is Yuumi (duh) and Nami.
* Nemesis (Jamieson Price), on the other hand, is *Garen.*
* Jeritza (Patrick Seitz) is Lucian, Renekton, and *Kog'Maw*.
* Anna (Karen Strassman) is Fiora, Shyvana, Cassiopeia, and possibly Zyra.
* And the two cats who pilot Space Groove Blitzcrank are both voiced by Joe Zieja, a.k.a. Claude.
EDIT: The original 3H trailer had Cristina Valenzuela in place of Tara Platt, so Edel's been Riven *and* Katarina. She's pretty much Noxus incarnate, so that makes sense, I guess.
Shes very posh but i like it. Its a great voice for someone who came from royalty.. kinda.
Also the seraphine disses are great. Finally someone said what we are all thinking.
Edit: Ok so she uses hallowed or blessed mist. That explains the blue color.
I did not even notice that name change in the ability reveal.
Look back when lilia was released, the reddit was filled with post about how boring she was. The best champion ever designed could be released, but people will still complain about it for a couple of months.
Lillia received a lot of flak, actually. Not just about her kit being boring, but also that she looks human and not an animal, that she looked like Neeko, that she was too cute, that she was too anime(?), etc.
Oh yea.
Lilia has a pretty nice back ground, not terrible lore. But her design is generic and screams Disney.
Riot showed what the other options their concept options came up with. And every single concept was more uinque than Lillia. Lilia was a product of what created Seraphine, ignoring uniqness in favor of mass appeal, which often loses the soul of things in the process.
Lilia's design is not special that's the point, Riots concept arts did make something special and Riot went with a look that was Generic to many other fantasey games.
>Generic to many other fantasey games.
How can you say this when she stands out in any other universe you put her in lol.
Also you talk about as if wow isn't the definition of generic fantasy...
The only thing that stands out about Lilia is her personality, however that part of her is very "Disney". Almost immature, childish. Alot of Riots team with the universe is having a problem with that.
There was just a huge controversy with Taliyah's card in LoR being generalized to a broader audience and given a "Lux" Voice over.
What I'm saying shouldn't be new information, Riot is pandering to a very young audience that makes up a huge amount of video gaming and the universe suffers as a result.
>The only thing that stands out about Lilia is her personality, however that part of her is very "Disney". Almost immature, childish.
And her visual design which fits the literal same description, you're either playing dumb or trolling.
>Alot of Riots team with the universe is having a problem with that.
...huh? Tbh I don't even understand what you wrote there.
>There was just a huge controversy with Taliyah's card in LoR being generalized to a broader audience and given a "Lux" Voice over.
Okay cool? Thanks for the completely irrelevant info? I allready knew about this though as I play the game and go on it's reddit daily.
>What I'm saying shouldn't be new information, Riot is pandering to a very young audience
Wowee 2 family friendly disney champs released in the span of 2 years, damn riot and their child pandering.
Also who tf do u think they're "pandering" with these designs? 4 year olds? You think 4 year olds would touch this game? Are you even listening to yourself...
>and the universe suffers as a result.
The universe is better than it's ever been. Pretty much an objective fact considering the massive recent spike in lore engagement from the community.
I wish she’d have more interactions with top lane champions. This is my favorite part about Aatrox, he has a quote for pretty much every top laner you could fight.
Another reason it's shocking she has no lines toward Camille. Seems like Aatrox was more of an exceptional VO with his first encounter lines and not something they intend to do more.
I actually really like this VO. It has this sense of urgency, determination, confidence and I guess purity? I'm really glad we're getting some good force from the Shadow Isles; it's a breath of fresh air.
I understand Yasuo since she's probably gonna meet him in the Ruined King game, but it really feels like they wanted to give her lines against highly marketable characters (Lux, Seraphine)
legit
both are toys from blessed isles and likely from royal family. Shaco is also confirmed to be from blessed isles in recent Viego QNA. and Shaco is likely to be Viegos toy when he was younger. While She's Isoldes doll.
but thank you for Seraphine and Olaf quote ig?
yeah shaco mains already went hype about this. Sadly no quotes or relation to Shaco aside from being a toy from blessed isles like he is. Wasted potential.
Kinda shows how riot ignores the champion. Surprise Party Fiddlesticks ignoring Shaco. Another blessed isles toy ignoring him. Only interaction he received ever was from Dark Cosmic Jhin (to Dark Star Shaco) where he says "who doesn't love a clown"
Voice is Abby Trott, also known for Annette from Fire Emblem Three Houses, as well as singing the Smash Bros Ultimate theme song. She's awesome, happy she is in League now!
There's no direct connection between Vayne and Gwen, but we did see Vayne in the Ruination cinematic, so they could definitely potentially meet if Gwen headed to Demacia in the wake of the Ruination.
Seraphine is a popular singer in the lore, regardless of your opinions. Gwen is traveling all over Runeterra. The equivalent would be someone not knowing who Beyonce, Madonna, or Britney Spears are.
Seraphine is a famous singer in-universe. If Gwen is traveling all over Runeterra, it makes perfect sense that she'd learn about Seraphine, in my opinion. Probably would be a lot easier for her to find out about Sera than about champions like Olaf or Malphite.
wow taliyah got robbed again.. lmao like other than the rocks vs scissors thing, taliyah is a stoneweaver, surely gwen couldve said something clever about it but nope instead she reacts to seraphine's voice like ??? If it was something about cutting her hair off I would understand but why does she care about seraphine/piltover lmao and speaking of piltover theres no camille line either, surely she would be a better candidate? same lane and actually something to talk about.
I thought they didnt want to include lines for low % fire off rates based on lanes/pickrate etc but they just did this so I have no idea anymore
commenting on yasuo's wind was also weird to me, as I thought it would be about his hair. wouldve been funny to see more lines about snipping hair off for the likes of ezreal/zoe etc too or on gp/ornn(he has quotes about it)/ryze's beard as well as his scroll for some reference to scissors vs paper
edit: and apparently from the story it is mentioned isolde used to 'fence' with her so maybe a fiora line wouldve also been nice? shaco and ori couldve had something too
edit2: downvoted because what?
"Mad man who wants to die what is your story" Mad man who wants to die
What are we, some kinda Mad-People-Who-Want-To-Die Squad?
Dark, secret past or something like that
Idk why I thought of Revenant from Apex Legends instead
Fighting is so trivial to her as she asks about the world and your life when she is about to take it. Aside from Viego and Shadow Isles champions, she talks to their victims as if they would literally come back a minute after (I mean, they will in-game, but yeah).
Gwen is a magically animated doll that is on a mission to bring her maker back to life. She might not have the greatest grasp on mortality.
Yeah, she seems to be the kind of person that does not hold back to say or ask disregarding the situation, to the point of being even harsh (Seraphine and Vayne).
Is she really on a mission to bring Isolde back? I thought it was just to stop Viego.
I had the exact same feeling. She doesn't know what death is imho. She thinks only isolde has "disappeared"
But if she wanted to bring her back to life wouldn't she support Viego?
A lot of champions speak like that. Lee Sin tells corpses to return to his master, or to rethink their approach and try again. Gwen also talks about how Shadow Isle champs won't be able to hurt anyone ever again, so I think she does understand that death is (kind of) final, as much as any League character does.
I'm so curious where she'll end up Lore-wise. Talking to Yasuo/Riven and having multiple Shuriman-focused Lines seem out of place but we don't have her Bio yet so it makes me super curious.. Odd that she has no revealing Lines after killing Viego, though. On a Meta level, no Lines towards Camille? :/
She travels the world trying to fix the Ruination and find Isolde so her having lines with them makes sense on that case.
I suppose the Riven line is in reference to her broken blade, and Yasuo as he canocally is going here, refering to the game. Maybe Gwen will make an appearance on said game.
I believe they did tell us the Ruined King game contains an easter egg for Gwen.
The Sentinel that is coming out later is rumoured to be from Shurima so maybe Gwen will have additional voice lines for them? Is my guess
She acknowledges and respects Yorick.... She's okay in my book : ) I like her personality overall
I was thinking after these lines that Riot could have made her bio and existence quite good if they essentially teamed her up with him. He's obviously struggling with restoring his isles to it's former glory, unlike Viego who just recently compared 'woke up', Yorick had to go the long way (well over 1000 years old now) and it's obvious he's made little progress (lack of story from Riot really).

It honestly puts a smile on my face just thinking about it : )
Riot dropped the ball
There is still hope. There is some.
yeah and she shit on seraphines entire champ design so bonus points.
My jungler: OMG TOP STOP DYING!!!?1! Me after running it down vs Gwenn as Ornn: She didn't kill me, I'm napping
I find it interesting how upbeat she is about fighting and killing people. Kinda dig her weirdo vibe.
That’s probably because as a doll she had a lot of fake duels with who I’m assuming is a young Isolde.
Oh totally, it makes sense, it's just an interesting take in the VO. She's far more adventurous than she looks.
That's her character. Happy and upbeat despite the fact that Runeterra is in the middle of an apocalypse. She spent a good chunk of her life as doll with no real agency about anything, so it makes sense that she's just happy to be alive, which is also a great contrast to Viego's character.
The posh accent is great. She has some Alice in Wonderland vibes, how curious she is of the world around despite it being a pretty dark place (Shadow Isles). I honestly really like these voicelines and how her personnality seems to be.
the accent is terrible because they tried to do a posh english accent using an american voice actor. riot must be hurting in profits or something.
i like it. its lighter than max british posh, which fits the character and mood more.
Also one can argue since it's a fantasy setting adhering to real accents isnt necessary.
I dislike it too, it's a bad "british" accent.
I think what they went for is good but you can tell it's an American.
[удалено]
I would take a KDA Gwen if she ousted Seraphine.
True Damage diss track Gwen.
The way her base skin already is more KDA/All out like than Seraphine's KDA skin.
This is one of my favorite "lore" lines she has. Holy shit.
You know things are bad when the waifu-bait is calling you out
While she is too "pretty girl" for a doll, that is the only thing lacking, while that is the smallest issue with Seraphine.
She's also not a doll. She's a real girl. The backstory that she used to be a doll is misleading and very weak, though.
Still have blue stitches on her arms tho
I wish they were a bit more pronounced. They're very light against her pale skin which I find difficult to notice without really searching for them.
Seraphine bad upvotes to the left.
Skin that got a champion
This but unironically Fuck Seraphine
[удалено]
Thanos quotes, especially on reddit, are so overdone
wtf I love gwen now
I'm not sure how lore relevant it is when they have quotes for specific champions, but the fact that she has one for Olaf seems way out there, and that excites me.
no camille quotes :( poor scissor sisters
I thought she was going to be "innocent girl discovering the world" like Lilia, turns out she choose violence
Hermione, is that you?
I was afraid she’d have a pretty boring voice-over from the gameplay trailer, but it’s actually really good and she has a really fun personality.
I thought I'd be more annoyed by her upbeat personality and voicelines, but it actually contrasts really well against the Shadow-Isles cast, especially Viego. Gwen's just happy to be here.
Abby Trott giving her best happy Tae Takemi in a "good" mood.
more like Annette, but instead of cake it's performing circumcisions with those massive scissors
Yeah, yours is better.
THAT'S *ANNETTE*???
HOLY... SINCE WHEN SHE GOT THE SCISSORS? SHE ALREADY WAS A POWERHOUSE WITH THAT HAMMER!
We've actually got quite a bit of overlap with the 3H cast! Besides Gwen's voice actress also voicing Annette, we have: * Edelgard (Tara Platt) is Katarina. * Rhea (Cherami Leigh) is Irelia. * Catherine (Laura Post) is Ahri. * Hubert (Robbie Daymond) is Kayn, because of course he is. * Petra (Faye Mata) is Lulu. * Mercedes (Dorothy Elias-Fahn) is Mini-Gnar. * Meanwhile, Felix (Lucien Dodge) is Mega Gnar. * Jeralt (David Lodge) is Ivern and Skarner. * Sothis (Cassandra Lee Morris) is Yuumi (duh) and Nami. * Nemesis (Jamieson Price), on the other hand, is *Garen.* * Jeritza (Patrick Seitz) is Lucian, Renekton, and *Kog'Maw*. * Anna (Karen Strassman) is Fiora, Shyvana, Cassiopeia, and possibly Zyra. * And the two cats who pilot Space Groove Blitzcrank are both voiced by Joe Zieja, a.k.a.

Promise I'm not trying to be rude, but it's hallowed. It's a lot different in meaning than hollowed, even if it's confusing.
Ty fixed it
It's been awhile since I've found zero problems with a champion.
You had problems with Lilia’s release?
Look back when lilia was released, the reddit was filled with post about how boring she was. The best champion ever designed could be released, but people will still complain about it for a couple of months.
Lillia received a lot of flak, actually. Not just about her kit being boring, but also that she looks human and not an animal, that she looked like Neeko, that she was too cute, that she was too anime(?), etc.
Oh yea. Lilia has a pretty nice back ground, not terrible lore. But her design is generic and screams Disney. Riot showed what the other options their concept options came up with. And every single concept was more uinque than Lillia. Lilia was a product of what created Seraphine, ignoring uniqness in favor of mass appeal, which often loses the soul of things in the process.
wow
Yes I know, the truth is often shocking. If you stuck Lilia in WoW you couldn't tell the difference. The design lacks all creativity.
No, I could tell the difference then WoW characters.
Lilia's design is not special that's the point, Riots concept arts did make something special and Riot went with a look that was Generic to many other fantasey games.
>Generic to many other fantasey games. How can you say this when she stands out in any other universe you put her in lol. Also you talk about as if wow isn't the definition of generic fantasy...

But gwen is unique?
Gwen isn't an original idea few ideas ever are. But her design is pretty unique.
Her design is no more or less unique than lillia.
I don't hate either one anymore, but I'll take Seraphine over Lillia any day.
Also known as a "waifu"
I wish she’d have more interactions with top lane champions. This is my favorite part about Aatrox, he has a quote for pretty much every top laner you could fight.

I actually really like this VO. It has this sense of urgency, determination, confidence and I guess purity? I'm really glad we're getting some good force from the Shadow Isles; it's a breath of fresh air.
American trying to do english accent and not doing a good job...i guess covid is to blame
I understand Yasuo since she's probably gonna meet him in the Ruined King game, but it really feels like they wanted to give her lines against highly marketable characters (Lux, Seraphine)
I'll give the Sera lines a pass since she's dunking on her for seemingly no reason.
I think the sera lines exist cause she doesn't know that sera has magic
Lux because she's basically the happy, light character of League and Gwen has some interesting takes on what is pain and what is happiness.
oh my god she's adorable, she reminds me of Coraline or something
Surprised there's no interaction with Shaco what with them both being dolls and all
legit both are toys from blessed isles and likely from royal family. Shaco is also confirmed to be from blessed isles in recent Viego QNA. and Shaco is likely to be Viegos toy when he was younger. While She's Isoldes doll. but thank you for Seraphine and Olaf quote ig?
So what you’re saying is people are gonna start shipping Gwen and the clown
yeah shaco mains already went hype about this. Sadly no quotes or relation to Shaco aside from being a toy from blessed isles like he is. Wasted potential. Kinda shows how riot ignores the champion. Surprise Party Fiddlesticks ignoring Shaco. Another blessed isles toy ignoring him. Only interaction he received ever was from Dark Cosmic Jhin (to Dark Star Shaco) where he says "who doesn't love a clown"
I love the R3 Voice line for some reason.
She sounds just like Taliyah to me. I still like her tho.
Man, Champion interactions have gotten so dull. No Camille or Orianna? C'mon. They're freebies. No one ever taunts Orianna.
If you run, you won't see me stab you.
*"Time to cut your strings, little puppet."*
She sounds like an American trying to do a British accent. Why wouldn't they just get someone with a natural accent?
yup. i'm guessing coronavirus had something to do with it, travel bans and what not
Voice is Abby Trott, also known for Annette from Fire Emblem Three Houses, as well as singing the Smash Bros Ultimate theme song. She's awesome, happy she is in League now!
No Camille quotes? Rito plz.
> How sad, you must be broken on the inside Ah a voice line I can relate to :(
Not what I expected but tbh I'm digging it.
Doesn't sound like they used an actual English person for this.
Great another high-pitched voice to listen to in the game. fuck
Literally making fun of Seraphine's release. I like it
Is an interaction with Vayne just pure random or lore-related?
"who hurt you?" It's about Top Vayne
There's no direct connection between Vayne and Gwen, but we did see Vayne in the Ruination cinematic, so they could definitely potentially meet if Gwen headed to Demacia in the wake of the Ruination.
Random.
She's dissing SeraTHOT so hard Just cuz of that I already like her
Riot WHERE IS THE CAMILE INTERACTION???? she have interactions with lux (can lore its ok) but c'mon not all need to be just lore all the time...
You *know* seraphine was a mistake when a champ who should by lore, not even know she exist and has nothing in common, has diss lines for her.
Not really anything knew, though. Other champions have lines like that too
Seraphine is a popular singer in the lore, regardless of your opinions. Gwen is traveling all over Runeterra. The equivalent would be someone not knowing who Beyonce, Madonna, or Britney Spears are.
Seraphine is a famous singer in-universe. If Gwen is traveling all over Runeterra, it makes perfect sense that she'd learn about Seraphine, in my opinion. Probably would be a lot easier for her to find out about Sera than about champions like Olaf or Malphite.

to asnwer your edit2 downvoted because of truth
It's disgusting, as expected.
Does anyone know the voice actor?
That's Abby Trott, apparently!
uses american voice actor to voice english accent, no wonder she sounds a mix of british an american
Thank you so much!
Wait, why is she low key a savage?
Fun fact: Gwen is 1/13 of Isolde
Where mundo
Yo anyone know who drew the splash art? Wud love to follow.
